It is fortunate that the existing airport facilities are adequate for most aircraft that can be reasonably expected to use the facilities within the next decade. However, it must also be recognized that the long term development plan must include facilities capable of accommodating the full ranqe of jet and turbo/prop aircraft within the general aviation fleet, and which appear to be strong candidates to use the facilities. This would suggest a runway extension on those runways which are most likely to be used, i.e., Runway 12-30. An Instrument Landi.nq System (ILS) was also installed a1 Runway 12. '1hese improvements will result in increased numbers of aircraft usinq that runway in the years to come. Reedvi.lle must be ccnsi.dered as a potentially constraining influence to the development of a lonqer runway on the 12-30 orientation. The extent of this c.xmstrai.ninq influence is impossible to measure since there may be no objection within the community to airport improvements. However, any proposed action which does appear to have an impact on the community should be fully considered prior to its implementation and a detailed assessment should be made of its potential impact. Gary Jd) COr:ps O:utcL At the present time, Gary Job Corps Center has legal possession of a substantial amount of aircraft parking apron, as well as a number of support buildings and facilities adjacent to the flight line. Althouqh the demand for these facilities in terms of aviation need is minimal at present, it should be recognized that in the years to oome, the cost to construct new aircraft aprons and facilities adjacent to them will be substantially greater than at the present time. In Secticn 'lhree of this report, minimum facility requirements for the twenty year planning period have been prepared, and it has been determined that the existing aircraft parking apron and adjacent flight line area is inadequate for the long term development needs for civilian flight activities. An effort should be made to recover the facilities and aircraft parking apron from GaJ:y Job COrps Center, and the airport development plan should include those areas and identify them as being available 2.1
